As the Premier League gears up for a thrilling new season, Robbie Keane has shared his excitement — and singled out one name he believes could light up Anfield: Hugo Ekitike.
The former striker praised Liverpool’s summer business, hailing Florian Wirtz as a “clever No. 10” while revealing his personal admiration for Ekitike, whom he faced last season during his spell at Frankfurt.
“After that game, I told the lads: he’s going to be the next big thing in England. He was unplayable at times,” Keane recalled.
While unsure if Ekitike will lead the line as Liverpool’s No. 9 or slot in on the left following Luis Díaz’s departure to Bayern, Keane is confident of his versatility. If Alexander Isak arrives from Newcastle, Ekitike could feature more out wide — but either way, his pace, skill, and technical brilliance will shine.
Keane even went as far as comparing him to Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres, suggesting Ekitike has the edge when it comes to one-on-one ability and direct goal threat.
Liverpool fans may just be witnessing the birth of their next superstar.✨

Yoane Wissa has fueled speculation over his future at Brentford after making a dramatic statement on social media. The Congolese forward unfollowed Brentford, changed his profile picture to black, and deleted all club-related posts from his Instagram account.
Wissa is reportedly frustrated with the club’s hard stance in the transfer market, as Brentford are refusing to entertain offers below their £60 million valuation. The player is said to be eager for a move this summer, and his recent online activity appears to be a clear message of discontent.
With the window still open, all eyes will be on whether Brentford soften their stance — or if Wissa’s social media silence turns into a full-blown transfer saga.

Inter Milan’s interest in Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman has hit a dead end. The Nerazzurri are set to inform the player’s camp within the next 24 hours that the deal is officially off the table.
Negotiations with Atalanta have been completely frozen for the past two weeks, with no progress made despite initial optimism. Importantly, sources confirm that the Lookman transfer was never tied to Nicola Zalewski’s proposed move to Atalanta, contrary to earlier reports.
This development leaves Lookman’s future uncertain as the summer window edges on, with Atalanta still holding firm on their valuation of the Super Eagles star.
